Mary's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Mary is a beautiful long-haired girl.My name is Mary and I am a very affectionate young lady. A kind man and woman saved me from the cold in the winter and now I am ready for my forever home. I just love being with people, and having all the attention! I am very laid back. I am FIV positive and I will do fine with other cats or I can be your one and only. Please read about FIV below. There is nothing to be afraid of -- I am not contagious and I can live a long happy, healthy life. If you want to make my dreams come true, please submit an application at chathamanimalrescue.org What is FIV? Feline Immunodeficiency Virus(FIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system of cats. There is no treatment or cure. FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be transmitted to people or dogs. FIV+ cats should be kept indoors to prevent exposure to illness, sterilized and fed a balanced diet. They should be seen by a veterinarian at least once a year to ensure their ongoing good health. Transmission: FIV is passed from cat to cat mainly through deep bite wounds, the kind that occur during fights and territorial disputes involving feral and unsterilized males. Casual, social behavior such as sharing a water/food bowl and mutual grooming will NOT spread FIV. There is no evidence that cats in the household with an FIV+ cat will acquire FIV from the FIV+ cat. Lifespan: Multiple medical studies show that cats who are FIV+ live just as long as FIV-negative cats. FIV itself does not cause severe clinical signs, and FIV+ cats can live many years without any health problems. For additional information contact your veterinarian.

Chatham Animal Rescue Education Inc.'s Adoption Policy

Pet Adoption Policy Meeting Our Foster Animals CARE is a volunteer-based organization which relies on foster caregivers to provide loving, stable homes to homeless cats and dogs, helping them become the best possible pets for their future forever families. We do not have a brick and mortar facility; our foster pets reside in our volunteers’ homes and become a part of the family until a forever home is found. You can meet many CARE foster pets at CARE adoption events or, after an application is submitted, by agreement with the CARE foster caregiver at a mutually agreed upon place. Adoption Process If you are interested in adopting a particular animal that is listed on the CARE website, click on Adoption Application and complete the application form. You will receive an automatic notification by email when CARE has received your application. Your application will be forwarded to that animal’s volunteer foster caregiver, who will review your application and contact you within 72 hours. CARE foster caregivers are dedicated to finding the perfect match for each animal. Many pets get multiple applications and we ask that you be patient as we will personally contact each applicant. We strive to find the perfect forever home for each cat and dog, taking into consideration the pet’s personality characteristics, age, energy level, health status, etc., as well as the living situation within the home of a potential adopter. Note that submission of an adoption application does not guarantee that you will be selected as the new guardian for an animal. CARE volunteer foster caregivers know their foster animal’s behavior and temperament and are trained to look for the best fit in placing their foster animals. We consider many factors before finalizing adoptions for our foster animals. Additionally, we check vet references and we conduct home visits. You must be 21 years of age or older to adopt an animal from CARE. CARE does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, gender, race, sexual orientation, or marital status. CARE’s only concern is finding the right home for each foster animal in our care. Due to the nature of our adoption process, we generally only adopt to homes located within 60 miles of Pittsboro, NC. Adoption Fees The adoption fee for cats is $100. This includes: FIV/FeLV testing Sterilization surgery All appropriate vaccinations Microchip Deworming Dental work (if necessary) Routine and emergency (if needed) veterinary care while in foster care The adoption fee for dogs ranges from $185-275. This includes: Testing for heartworm/ehrlichia/lyme disease Sterilization surgery All appropriate vaccinations Microchip Deworming Routine and emergency (if needed) veterinary care while in foster care Dental work (if necessary) Basic obedience training Common Adoption Process Questions I’m interested in an animal on the CARE website, can I visit the animal before submitting an application? Our animals live in the homes of our volunteer foster caregivers, so unfortunately there is no facility where you can visit our animals. However, we regularly attend adoption events, please check our Events Schedule. If you are interested in a particular animal or multiple animals, please submit an application (Dogs | Cats) so that our foster caregivers can determine if you might be a good match. A volunteer will be in touch within 72 hours. Submission of an adoption application does not obligate you in any way. I’m interested in an animal on the CARE website, is the animal still available? Animals that are on a trial adoption or are pending adoption will usually be marked as such on the website. If this is not the case, an animal is likely available but may or may not have one or more applications in process. If you are interested in an animal, please submit an application (Dogs | Cats) and we will let you know their status. I’m interested in an animal on the CARE website, can you tell me more about them? Each animal on the website includes a description, and we strive to include as much information that we may have. As most of our animals are taken in from the County shelter, often we do not know the history of a particular animal.
